Locate the Giant Orb/Ball on the Top Floor

The missing mechanism that you need to find is a Giant Orb/Ball. If you go inside the room on the right of the trap room, you will see the mark of “Orb Here”. It means you need to bring the giant orb to the platform. Go up the staircase and clear the area of all the enemies. Head up to the top floor and make your way to the room with the giant ball.

Bring the Giant Orb to the Platform

You need to stand on the switches on the floor to open the path for the giant orb to move. Go along with the orb and stand on the switches to open the path. There will be three switches on the top floor. After pressing the three switches for the ball to move forward, go through the hole on the floor to the lower level.

Go into the courtyard and shoot down the three metal frames to make the orb go forward. After that, you need to interact with the console on the side of the courtyard to straighten the platforms to keep the orb rolling. Once the orb is on the same floor as you, stand on the switches to lift it up and roll. Once the orb goes down to the lower floor through the hole, it will land on the platform.

Use the Keypunch Activation Keycard to Save the Hostages

Now, before you can access the console to choose the fate of the hostages, you need to get the Keypunch Activation Keycard. It is in the safe underneath the giant orb. Loot the safe underneath the giant orb to get the keycard. Go to the console and use the keycard. Here, you will get the option to choose the fate of the hostages. Saving the hostages will increase the rep with the Order (Faction) by +3.

After that, the player will be on their way to confront Seer Wiley at the Observatory.
